Objectives • To build a 4-bit serial to parallel converter. • Use cadence to design and test our converter circuit. • Use cadence to layout our design.
Design Functionality Circuit will take serial data stream at 25mhz and convert to a 4-bit parallel bit stream every 4 clock cycles.
Design Specifications • Circuit operates on positive edge of clock. • All data registers set to logic 0 upon reset going low. • Output buffers can drive 10pf load. • Minimized clock skew. • Fabrication using AMI16 process. • Power consumption of entire design less than 500mw. • Equal high and low noise margins of VswitchingTH=2.5V within 10%. • Whole design must fit in a 40mil2 area.
D Flip Flop • 4 D flip-flops are implemented into the converter. • Each flip-flop produces a single output which is read as part of a parallel sequence. • Used master-slave D-latches for positive edge transition.
Schmitt Trigger • Input stage to give our converter noise immunity. • VswitchingTH should be equal to 2.5V with in 10%.
Super Buffer • Output stage used to allow our design to drive a 10pf load with minimal signal propagation delay time.
Converter Design • Includes Schmitt trigger, 4 D flip-flops, and 4 super buffers. • Area of design is 1700um X 900um. • Clock skew is minimized in layout. • Design functionality specifications satisfied.
Power • Circuitry for measuring power. • Our power consumption is 248mw for one period, which satisfies the specification requirement of 500mw for one period.
Conclusion • 4-bit serial to parallel converter achieved. • Design flow. • Converter test bench. • Questions?!!
